Black Swan State Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Carol by Andrea Gibbs at the Heath Ledger Theatre.

Carol’s got Christmas running through her veins. Born on the 25th of December, it’s not just a date to her − it’s a bloody big deal. For decades, she’s been the one wrapping the presents, dishing out the pav, and holding the whole Christmas shebang together.

This year, however, nothing is jolly. Life’s thrown her a curveball, and 60-year-old Carol’s Christmas cheer is hanging by a thread. With wind whistling through her car windows, late-night talk-back her only company, and council move-on notices stacking up, tinsel and turkey are seemingly ghosts of Christmas past. But she's not ready to let Christmas go − not without a fight.

This heartfelt story stars Sally-Anne Upton as the lovable Carol, and features original music performed live by Jackson Harper Griggs that’s sure to get you humming! Black Swan offers a range of ticket prices, and Access services including Captioning, Audio Description, Tactile Tours, and Auslan interpreted performances.
